Hey guys,
Is anyone brave enough to test the full feature 1.5 build of Open Home Full? We know we can always find some brave ones here
It requires that you are running android 1.5 on your phone (aka Cupcake). This build has full supports of 1.5 widgets and also a good amount of stability and performance improvements.
We had not done a lot of testing on this build; also this build will expire in a month (5/30). If you want to test the latest and greatest, feel free to install and try this build.
*Remember safe mode is hold menu button when powering on*, if you see anything wrong, just enter safe mode and then uninstall it.
Do NOT install unless you are running android 1.5
Download the apk at
http://groups.google.com/group/openhome/files
I assume since I'm running the dudes build and it supports widgets it may work. I can always remove if necessary . This doesnt remove open home right? just a different version?
EDIT: it replaces the existing open home
Hmm, I was impressed with the demo of OpenHome when I downloaded it a couple days ago. I'll take a look.
downloading it now. I have just flashed the holiday cupcake build so I assume it'll work with this. I'll let you know.
So far so good. I am glad to have openhome back again in 1.5
I have added all widgets, and they all work as expected. Are some of these the 1.5 "stock" widgets? I assume so because i see 2 music widgets listed, one looks like your own and the other a stock one.
I'll let you know how it goes after some proper usage. great work so far though. thankyou.
oh, p.s .. Will this be a free upgrade for those who had previosly purchased open home full ?
Works well enough. I like it.
Normally use full edition but will keep this until it is updated.
Suggestion: How about that calendar widget from Haykuro's build so those with dude's builds can use it?
Using it. Works well so far. I'm an OH Full user too, will I have any problems going back to the market app when it gets updated/released?
Ps. Is there any way to add support for Jeff Sharky's weather widgets? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509729
Weather widgets ok here. Problem with battery percentage widget though

It's already supported. That weather widget is working fine for me.
Hey guys i like the changes the menus are a little more intuitive now! Shame it doesn't seem to maintain your icons from older version, but weirdly kept my fonts theme etc - not sure if that qualigfies as a bug or not really
One problem i have found though is it seems to scrap folder icons the second you open bettercut again, not a huge problem but ....
BUGS!
I have almost 200 apps to SD so it's convenient to have my favorite "few" on the desktop. After I installed the new apk file... everything was GONE! Huge inconvenience! Then when I pull up the app menu I can watch them appear one after another like the app is doing a search for the installed apps. I also tried Picture Frame. It seems like it pulls up the Camera app, then the gallery. I selected my picture. Cropped it. Saved it. Then it went back to "select picture" again. Strange. Also... AnyCut Open Home Edition doesn't work. Definite bugs.
Other then that I love it. Thanks! Is this going to be in an update and when will it be available in Market? I purchased the full version months ago.

I don't think it has anything to do with bettercut because I don't have it installed and it still goes back to the default folder icons randomly, sometimes it comes back sometimes it doesn't.

Yea that kind of pissed me off when I realized it took all my stuff off the screen and the dock. It works fine besides these few issues though.

Hey quick question, is there any way to add a 3d effect on swipe? Like when you swipe to left or right screen, screen shrinks and rotates as a 3d cube. That will be awesome dude, you can name the app something different and charge for it again because I know damn well people will pay for it. I definitely will.

The reguar widget works for me, but not his. It isn't even displayed as an option.
Trying it out on my new Magic
But it's not 'open' in any sense...
Really dissapointed in losing all of my icons on all 7 screens. Glad that "real" widget support was actually added in. Almost went back to dxTop because of this. Please make the full version available on the market as an upgrade to the old full version. It would be nice to make it detect the old settigns and import them in.
Hey guys.. uhh i accidentally set my home to default instead of open home.. any help would be appreciated!

Opps. You have to wipe now.
Just kidding. You deal with it the same way as if you would set the defaults as any other app. Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Home>Clear defaults.
Been using this app for a few days now.I havent ran into any problems with it pretty smooth.Only down side was losing my icons.But no biggie.

Thank you. I wish we had full nand unlock...cause my Root explorer is no good for now. I just don't like adb..so prefer Root explorer.
Does OTA come pre installed with the rom, or do I already have to have it, cause right now im running a rom and have the OTA already installed. SO...

There is another entire thread dedicated to flashing the OTA radio file. It's an entire process, especially if you are rooted already. You have to unroot to do it.
would it be possible to get the 3g ap hotspot so I could install it? It actually works quite well.
so... as with every other 2.2 rom i've tried, i'm getting the same problem with this one.
my contacts sync, but they don't show up in the "people" app. they appear in the phone app, but not the actual people app.
can anyone help?
Im trying this now. What do people think of it so far. I was very please with pmf's work when using his 1.1.
"Call To Answer" Screen is still HTC
Just flashed this ROM. I must say, it is very fast and responsive. Great work!
I have one concern:
The lockscreen is Android 2.2 vanilla. However, the "slide to answer" screen is still the HTC screen. When testing, the screen was off. As soon as the call came in and the screen turned off, I saw the vanilla lock screen flash for a second (I believe it was the stock unlock screen, not the stock "slide to answer" screen) and then it was replaced with the HTC slide to answer screen.
Is anyone else having this experience?

this is how it was with pmf 1.1
Please add support to ROM Manager! I love being able to install straight to my phone while bored at work!
I don't think the facebook sync is working correctly, the full list did not appear. this stuff is getting annoying because I really love this rom so far.

Thanks. Yeah this is because the phone answer lock screen is controlled by the HtcPhone.apk, which is used in this ROM.

I haven't had issues with it, other than the first sync can take a while to show up. I find that firing up FriendStream can sometimes force it to sync.
Hi all,
Just wondering if other have seen this.
When unlocking the screen I get the status bar and the background, but nothing else. If I make the pater to unlock the phone, the phone will unlock, but not refresh the screen. If I then swipe one way or the other the 'desktop' will refresh and icons etc. will appear.
I had it on stock 2.3.3 on my Nexus One (annoyed me so much flashed it and installed CM6).
I installed CM7 RC4 and it was fine for a couple of days then it started happening again. Reboot fixes it.
Looks like it is something backed into 2.3 from Google and not specific to CM, since I am getting it on the stock ROM as well.
Cheers, Tim.
A little background. I finally got PA rom on my phone and realized that I needed GPS and I wanted some of the feature on PACman. After about 4 hours with PA, I flashed PACman.
1st, This rom is awesome. It's very quick and seems stable. I've had one restart since using it (about 24hours now). I love all the features but I have a few questions.
1. How do you change the pie colors? Can you change the colors of the items in the notification bar without applying a theme?
2. I'd like the items on the screen: browser, keyboard, etc... to be a bit bigger. How do I do this?
3. I did a Titanium backup before flashing, but it doesn't say I have anything to restore. There is an option to extract from a nandroid backup, but that's with the paid version. Before I buy, does that work?
4. I used the Moto Smartactions app a lot. Is there a way to get that back?
5. I use gmail mostly, but still use the 'email' app. I guess I'm used to the Moto 'email' app, is there a way to get that back?
6. To pickup 4G lte, what's the correct APN?
7. With PIE controls, how do you access Google Now?
I'm hoping for a bluetooth fix too. I can find devices but can't connect to them.
Well your Titanium backup must have been deleted when you did a system wipe or factory reset during the PACman installation. The best full backup in my opinion is going to be CWM (nandroid). I don't know the answers to your other questions since I never use those features
1. Go into Settings, Hybrid Properties, swipe right to open the sidebar, go to Interface, uncheck "Enable per app color" (unless you want that), and change the colors to your liking (I can't seem to get them to stick. The bottom 2 are for the status bar.)
2. By bigger do you mean the address bar and such? Turn the 2 sliders in the Interface tab (directions above) to the far right and make sure it says phone in the box above it.
3. If you made a nandroid backup before flashing PAC, restore that, change the Titanium backup location to your external SD card, backup, then restore the backup of PAC.
4. Use Tasker or Llama or a similar app.
5. Use the one from the Gapps zip that you flashed (you did flash Gapps, right?).
6. Use the "ATT Phone" APN that comes already activated with the ROM. The signal bars will show 0 when using 4G on any 4.2.2 ROM.
7. You don't.

1. That's what I was doing, but it doesn't stick for me either. I thought I was doing something wrong. Anyone know a fix ? @skeevydude ?
2. That's what I have my setting on, but it seems that, for example, when the keyboard comes up, it's much smaller than it used to be.
3. Ok, that was probably my problem, I should have backed it up to the SD. When you restore from TB, would it bring back all my text/other data?
4. I've heard Tasker is good, but I'll miss Smartaction
5. I did flash GApps, from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314604
6. That's what I'm on now, working good :good:
7. No way to access G now? I actually got used to using it to send text etc... when I'm in the car.
Example for #2, screen size. Here's a photo of my email. Everything seems so much smaller than it did on stock. Maybe my eyes are going bad.
You can access Google with the navigation ring or setting it as a long press on pie I believe.

Thanks for everyone's help.
I use Nova prime, so I used the swipe up gesture to access Google Now, works fine, problem solved
I made sure I was in stock phone UI, the keyboard is still small. I'll check around the swype keyboard options.
I changed the settings for Nova in the quick settings menu to 720p and adjust the size manually. This helps alot, but I have to do this for each app. I wish I could set it at one standard across the board.
I still can't seem to get the keyboard any bigger.
On that note. The ATT AHD had swype keyboard on it stock. Is there a way to get that back. I purchased swype for my Nexus 10, but I like the stock AHD version better because it doesn't have that 'dragon' feature. Is there a way to extract that keyboard from the stock version?

yeah just download the stock files of I remember correctly a link to them can by found in skeevydudes fastboot thread in general
it will be under system/apps
I looked, but didn't see it, maybe I over looked it. @skeevydude, have a link to stock apps? I'd like to get the stock swype keyboard if possible.

From Stock JB ATT.
@skeevydude, Thanks a ton! Unfortunately, it didn't work. It installed but once I enabled it as the default keyboard I continually get a popup message saying Swype has stopped. Oh well, I still have the newer version, just really don't like that Dragon feature...it's overkill.

Try pushing or copying to /system and set the permissions the same as the other apps (644,rw-r-r). That was a system app. And uninstall any and all traces of swipe before doing this.
A few other questions (I don't want to whore up the PAC rom thread)
It may be a setting, but when I open most apps (chrome, play store, etc...) there is a bar of either color or white between the status bar and the window. I can't figure out how to get rid of that.
Also, on the pro version of ROM toolbox: Does the boot animation installer work on this phone?
@skeevydude,
Here's a screenshot of what I meant in the last post. The line between the Now header and the status bar. It is like this on nearly all apps. It's not a big deal, but I didn't know if there is a setting I'm missing to fix this.
Hi guys, I'm just wondering, as I'm totally new to android, if you could walk me through the initial stuff a person should do to get the most of his new device.
What I've already done:
Got Nova Launcher and set it up in basic fashion. Will have to go back to it later.
Got Llama, playing with it. Any ideas for setting it up besides the usual silent mode at night, turn off wifi out, turn on mobilde data out... ?
Got SwiftKey.
Got Min Icons.
Got SD Maid Pro.
Fiddled with settings a little, nothing serious.
What I want to do:
Use Debloater to clear bloatware and useless apps. Can I use it to get rid of Xperia keyboard, lockscreen etc? Should I? How do I know what I can disable and what not?
Get some lockscreen replacement app.
Figure out widgets. Seems like there's a disorganized mess of them in my phone even though I didn't install any.
Get a new dialer and contacts app because the original Xperia ones are pretty ugly.
Besides this, is there anything else I should do to improve performance/usability of my new phone? What do you do to your phones? I want the setup to result in a minimal interface and the best possible battery+speed+stability/reliability.
Also, what apps do you use instead of the stock ones like Gallery, Camera etc. Is it worth using other apps?
Thank you.
